It’s Friends of Portswood Library’s 10th Birthday on Saturday 3 August (2024) – join them to celebrate!

A week before this momentous occasion, David Wardell, Chair of Friends of Portswood Library (pictured below), told HRA:

“Portswood Library is a much loved asset which has been serving the community for over a century. However, these days libraries rely on footfall for their continued existence. The Friends of Portswood Library have hosted many events and talks to help drive this, and raise awareness of the many facilities that the library has to offer. I’m very grateful to the Highfield Residents’ Association, and other bodies, who have steadfastly helped us to spread the word.”
